Martin Drölling

1752-1817 French

Peint d'intérieurs domestiques populaires

Martin Drolling était un peintre français. Il était le père de Michel Martin Drolling et de Louise-Adéone Drölling, l'une des rares femmes peintres à connaître le succès à l'époque. Martin Drolling, a native of Oberhergheim, near Colmar, was born in 1752. He received his first lessons in art from an obscure painter of Schlestadt, but afterwards went to Paris and entered the École des Beaux-Arts. He gained a momentary celebrity by his 'Interior of a Kitchen,' painted in 1815, exhibited at the Salon of 1817, and now in the Louvre. He usually painted interiors and familiar subjects of general interest. His works were popular during his lifetime, and many of them were engraved and lithographed. He died in Paris in 1817. The Louvre has by him a 'Woman at a window ' and a 'Violin-Player.'
